Vasilakou, E. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Wahl, S.A. (author)Background: Microbial metabolism is highly dependent on the environmental conditions. Especially, the substrate concentration, as well as oxygen availability, determine the metabolic rates. In large-scale bioreactors, microorganisms encounter dynamic conditions in substrate and oxygen availability (mixing limitations), which influence their...journal article 2020

Velasco Alvarez, M.I. (author), ten Pierick, A. (author), van Dam, P.T.N. (author), Maleki Seifar, R. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Wahl, S.A. (author)Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is an interesting biopolymer for replacing petroleum-based plastics, its biological production is performed in natural and engineered microorganisms. Current metabolic engineering approaches rely on high-throughput strain construction and screening. Analytical procedures have to be compatible with the small scale...journal article 2017
